In all, 40,000 rounds of ammunition, and only 500 Transtar II blue 24" x 40" targets are being ordered.

All the ammunition and targets are being spread out over the US to three locations, Ellsworth, ME; New Bedford, MA; Wall, NJ; and St. Petersburg, FL. Only the 24,000 rounds are being sent to Florida, no targets will be shipped there.

This all comes after the Department of Homeland Security requested a contract with manufactures for over 63,000,000 rounds rounds over the next 4 years.

And this raises other questions:

· Could not the US Government simply re-allot the ammunition from DHS to DOC?

· What is it about being a weather person that requires the training and use of a firearm?

· What future event is coming that makes the National Weather Service believes it needs to train and arm its employees?
